    Hello, I'm asking for someone not in the VJ community. Situation: Filipina Mom with US green card from EB3 visa and Philippines passport gave birth in the US. Toddler is US citizen with US passport and Philippines Report of Birth. Filipina Mom wants to travel to the Philippines with Toddler to stay with the Filipina's Mom and Sisters or Toddler's Filipina Grandma Lola and Aunts Ates. Filipina Mom wants to return to the US within 1 month to continue work, but also wants to leave the Toddler in the Philippines with Lola and Ates to take care for extended period of time like from 6 months to 2 years. Question: What documentations should be prepared for the Toddler? Philippines passport? What are the legal custody documentations to be prepared for Lola and Ates to take care of the Toddler? They want the proper documentations to avoid any misunderstanding or suspicions of human trafficking, etc.?

    If your case does go to the judge, what guarantee do you have to show up for the court date given your international travel history? Is delaying your international travel for an oath ceremony better or worse than delaying for a court date?

    USCIS can medical RFE for anything, even not trusting the overseas doctors. Some have reported RFE for I-693 just to have a US civil surgeon transcribe the DS-3025, which most will still charge for a full medical.

    The overseas medical DS-3025 is valid for one year to be submitted with the I-485. That does not mean USCIS may not request a medical RFE. USCIS still reserves the right to request a medical RFE.

    That sounds like a bank reference letter, which a bank officer usually signs. A bank reference letter is equivalent to your employer's HR providing an employment reference letter stating when you started working, your current salary, etc. Depending on your bank or the bank officers, they may or may not have time to fulfill your request in time (within 10 days) for you to include in the I-134. Our bank was able to fulfill my request and get it to me the next day, which I was able to include in the I-134. I made extra copies as I also included it in the I-864. The bank reference letter is not a hard requirement, depending on the consulate, but it certainly does not hurt your case to have it. If you can not get the bank reference letter for the I-134, you can at least have it for the I-864 with the I-485.

    @Dominic828 I would go thru the CBP list of prohibited and restricted items and make sure that you or the K1 beneficiary do not enter with them. https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-go/prohibited-and-restricted-items One anecdotal story that was going around for a while was a K1 bride wanting to bring a plant from her home country as a gift to her to-be in-laws. The plant and K1 bride were denied entry by the CBP.

    @smilingstone US employers understand some of the logistics of USCIS immigration since they must abide by the same laws when hiring. To show potential employers that you are not just sitting around doing nothing while waiting for work authorization, you can earn professional certifications or licenses like real estate license, driver's license, food handler certification, AI certification, etc.--many of which have minimal fees or costs or even free. I recommend that all new immigrants learn all of the Khan Academy Personal Finance and Financial Literacy courses, and supplement with any other materials to get a good understanding of the US money culture, like taxes, tippings, Roth IRA, etc. One recent K1 beneficiary that my foreign spouse was keeping in touch with got her EAD within 6 months of US entry and followed the strategy above. During the 6 months, she got married, filed for the I-485/I-765, got her motorcycle license, learned enough about the US money culture, etc. After she got the EAD, she applied and got hired with UberEats delivering food and now makes a pretty good living for herself and her husband.

    So you did not have an I-751 interview? Do you have an N-400 interview scheduled?
  22. EatBulaga
    Are you still at I-129F NOA1? Why would you need an Advanced Parole? As for expedited criteria, if you can justify your situation using one of the accepted criteria, such as humanitarian reasons, then you have the best chance for approval. https://www.uscis.gov/forms/filing-guidance/expedite-requests Most are more worried about the EAD expedite than the AP expedite.

    "how good the Filipino parent has it in the Philippines"--is bank balance not one of the measure?
  27. EatBulaga
    Yes. Does the consulate or CBP not care how much are in the bank accounts?
